David Šaur

David Šaur is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics within Tomas Bata University's Faculty of Applied Informatics. His work bridges meteorology, applied informatics, and crisis management, focusing on severe convective storms and flash flood risk forecasting for regional governance.

• Developed FLAPRIS, a system for flash flood risk forecasting in the Zlín Region.
• Collaborated on X-band radar applications for real-time precipitation monitoring.
• Teaches mathematics-related courses for Software Engineering and Industrial Automation programs.

Research Interests include:

• Predictive modeling of convective precipitation using radar and station data
• Integration of NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) models with regional crisis management systems
• Development of algorithms for 24-hour quantitative precipitation forecasting
• Quantitative risk assessment for flash floods and storm phenomena

His 15 most recent publications (2022-2016) focus on improving convective precipitation forecasting accuracy through algorithm validation, data mining techniques, and hybrid radar/station measurement thresholds. These works underpin practical crisis management tools for municipalities.
